Maybach’s newest model has been revealed ahead of its world debut at the upcoming Dubai Motor Show in a couple of week’s time. The car is a new semi-convertible version of the 62 saloon that officials will be calling a concept, but a limited production run of just 20 examples is all but confirmed for early next year.

The new model is based on the current Maybach 62 but adopts a sliding roof over the rear compartment. The Landaulet design was made popular in the early part of the century and is basically a regular sedan with a fabric roof-center that can be folded away. The car also gets a revised interior with a removable glass panel dividing the front and rear quarters. Power will come from the same 612hp V12 engine shared by the regular saloon.
A certain unscrupulous UK publisher has taken it upon itself to again leak photos ahead of their release date and since we don’t agree with their behavior we won’t mention them by name, however it won’t be long until official pictures are out so stay tuned for full high-res shots.

It looks seriously very very ugly. Imagine looking at it from the side profile the roof cover will look so out of place. This is what you end up with when you try to modify the existing design of car that is not intended to be designed like that.

Right on, Derek!

I disagree, how can you say it looks bad without any good pic?
From the pic we see here it looks really wonderful, it exsudes class and luxury.

I am sorry, but this Maybach Landaulet is a brilliant idea, it gives Maybach an enormous exclusiveness, and from the pic here it is very very impressive.

Noone questions it's exclusiveness, but Maybach as a brand has more problems and i don't think this version will put it high to the sky...

coolraoul · 11-02-2007, 05:12 AM

I think it can help a lot.

What scares me is the rumours of a Maybach GL: that would be the end for Maybach... Imagine a Rolls-Royce version of the X5, or a Bentley Q7...

But this Landaulet is brilliant, and it looks brilliant in this pic. It will boost Maybach's image a lot, more trendy, and a lot of (very rich) people will want one.

We'll see...

I fail to see this 20-car special edition doing much difference for the Maybach sales (or image).
